Forbo Surestep Original China Blue

China Blue is a light blue speckled safety vinyl that grips underfoot even when wet. The R10 anti-slip rating means it’s built for bathrooms, kitchens, wet rooms and commercial settings where grip matters. The finish looks clean and modern whilst doing the real work of keeping you safe on damp floors.

The PVC sheet is 2mm thick with a 0.7mm wear layer, waterproof throughout, and comes in 2m roll widths. It’s glued down during installation and requires no underlay. Works with underfloor heating systems too, so you can add warmth without fuss. The range Forbo Surestep Original covers everyday safety needs across the home and light commercial spaces.
